FOUGHT THIRTY ROUNDS.
A Brutal and Bloody Prize Fight.
which Ends in n Draw.

NEW YORK, Jan. IA bloody contest
with two-ounce gloves to finish. was
fought Oh Long Island tonight by the light
weights, Billy Davis. ITO pounds. and Eu-
gene Hornbacher, 100 pounds. Davis was
the more scientific. In the sixth
round he caught Hornbacher on
the jugular, knocking him down and
nearly ending the fight. Had Davis gone
in at this point he could have won, but he
took things easy to wear his man out. But
Hornbacher was slayer. Davis knocked
him down again in the tenth round. Then
both fought carefully till the fif-
tenth round, when Hornbacher cut
Davis lip open. Smuggling followed for
four rounds. At the end of the nineteenth
round Hornbacher hit Davis on the Jaw q
terrific blow and the blood rushed from his
mouth as he fell. Davis was in very bad
condition for five rounds. but was kept
up with brandy, and managed to
get in several facers, making
losing fight in a very game way. At the
close of the the twenty ninth round both
were very weak and the referee ordered
them to fight one more round for de-
cision. Neither could knock the other out,
however. and the fight was declared
draw in the thirtieth round.

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, Jan. 1.-THE state
live stock commissioners made public to-day
their reply to Commissioner Colman, of
the agricultural dedartment 1t is longer
than Colman'S letter, and aSSailS him Wig
orouSly. The commissioners impute to
Colman malicious and vicious motives for
his attack. and claim that the discovery of
pleuro-pneumonia in Illinois was due to
them, and that the government bureau of
agriculture never discovered case in any
state. They say Colman is now pretend
ing before the public to hold views about
the matter that he and his subordinates
know perfectly well are entirely different
from those expressed at the time of the
trouble. AS to the CONDITION of Shu-
feldt'S diStillerY sheds, the commissioners
say the facts are not as Cole
man has stated. They charge that
ne has neglected to familiarize
himself with the laws of Illinois on the
subject, and consequently his recommends
lions to the governor are puerile. The
commissioners undertake to show that Col
mans communication is an entire misrepre-
sentation of their acts and that his COM
plants contain malicious Interpretations. for
the purpose of deceiving the public. They
charge that the commission has sought to
magnify the Shufeldt after. The board
claims to have done more in ninety days to
suppress pleuro-pneumonia with limited APP
preparations, than the department of agri-
culture has done in more than two and one
half years, with ample appropriations, sci
entific knowledge and appliances, and to
have established presidents that the de-
partment has been unable to establish. The
board charges that the department has not
the capacity to handle the pleuro-pneumo-

LONDON, Jan. 14.-John Bright. in a
letter declining an invitation to attend a
meeting of the advocates Of federation, OH
the ground that he has no sympathy with
the objects and purpose thereof, asks the
projectors of the movement how the pro-
posed federation would deal with the fish

he asserts, she would yield to the
arguments of her powerful neigh
bOrs, and if there were no
Dominion of Canada, the dispute would

ST.. LOUIS, Jan. 14.-Albert Odell, James
Lamb, john L. Echols and John Stephens
were hanged at Fort Smith, Ark, at noon
to-day, for murder committed in the Indian
Territory. The execution passed off quietly,
only about one hundred witnesses being
present. On Dec. ~, 1885, Odell and
Lamb killed man named Edward
Pollard in the Cherokee nation. The
murder was brutal. Pollard was
shot in the head and instantly killed while
he was walking away from his murderers.
At the trial all extraordinary scene was
witnessed. Odell swore that Lamb did the
killing and Lamb denounced Odell as the
murderer. President Cleveland was urged
to commute the sentence OF each to life i'm
prlsonment, but refused to interfere after
carefully examining the evidence. John +.
Echols murdered a man in the territory
some time ago. He was regarded as des-
perate character and. it is claimed, killed sew
eral persons for money, besides having been
implicated in numerous robberieS. John
Stephens, negro, murdered his companion

LONDON. Jan. 14.-Lord Randolph
Churchill, in letter explaining his resigna-
ton from the cabinet says his object was
to secure economy combined with efficiency.
He will gladly cooperate with any one in
an endeavor to induce or compel the house
of commons to revert to the better financial
principles which prevailed before 1874. He
continued:
If economy is unpopular in Downing street
we must make it popular. Calamities meal

lavish, uncontrolled expenditure be allowed
to continue.
Gladstone thinks this letter does honor to
Lord Randolph, and offers the latter a

not addressed. but another was found later in
the room occupied by ''Miss Merton ad-
dressed TO Cluverius. 1t was this that led 10
his arrest. The note read: II will be there
as soon as possible, so please wait for me- -
After the discovery of the body ana the ar
rest OF CluveriuS, who was positively identi-
fed as the man who had called upon Miss
Merton twice on the 18th, it was developed
that she was Cluverius' first cousin. They
had lived in adjoining counties, and were
about the same age. She had mentioned him
to some of her female friends as her sweet
heart and said that she expected to marry
him. An examination of the body also de-
veloped the fact that she was
IN A DELICATE CONDITION.
There were evidences of a struggle near
the reservoir embankment, and male and fe-
male foot prints were clearly traceable The
dead woman's hat was found near a small
pox hospital, few hundred yards off. Her
shawl was found hanging on u fence in an
entirely different locality, aud bag contain
ing her clothing was fshed out of the river
mile from the place of her death. But the
most important and significant find was q
watch key which was positively identified by
a matchmaker as one he had made for Culver
ius, while it was recognized as having be-
longed to him by numbers of his acuuaint-
ances. The trial was lengthy and hotly con
tested. 1t was proven that Cuverius and
Miss Madison were in the neiehborhood of
the reservoir on the night OF the murder.
The suicide theory was advanced, but
this was disproved by the evidence Of
struggle, and the claim of the accused that
he had not seen the deceased for several
months was clearly shown to be false. A mo-
tive for the crime was Shown in the fact that
he was engaged to an heiress. The evidence
was purely circumstantial, the accused's
previous good character was in his favor, but
it took the jury but q few moments to return
verdict OF guilty. An appeal was taken to
the supreme court and the verdict was un ar
lmously sustained. The execution was fixed
for last December, but respite until to-day
was granted by the governor. A second re-
spite was asked for a few days ago but re-
fused. Throughout his Imprisonment Gu
Yerius stoutly maintained his innocence, and
yesterday kept up devotional exercises. He
had many believers in his innocence, who
manifested their sympathy in many ways.

eide upon what action should be taken by

Gazette, in an article on the dissolution of
the Reichstag, says:
Before all. the German people demand that
every reichstag shall grant without fear or
hesitation what is necessary for the external
and internal security of The empire. Upon
this point common sense will surely teach
that voters will place more value upon the
opinion Of the emperor and his advisors than

DYNAMITE EXPLOSION.
Another Outrage in Connection With
the Cable Road Strike in San Fran.
Gil

cisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1.-THE resi-
dents of Post street. between Larkin and
Polk streets. were startled last evening by
the sound of a tremendous explosion and
by the SCATTERING of glass about their ears.
A dynamite cartridge had been placed on
the track of the Larkin street branch line
of the Suffer street cable road, and had eX-
ploded under Dummy No. "a. The dummy
was completely wrecked and the Win
dowS of the car and Of houses in the
vicinity were demolished. Mr.. A. Hilder-
brandt and his wife and brother were sit
ting on the dummy OH the side where the
explosion took place. They were all thrown
into the street. and Mrs. Hilderbrandt, it is
feared, is seriously injured. She was taken
into neighboring house and medical as
sistance was summoned. Late in the even
ing she was conveyed to her home. 1t was
a miracle that there were no others injured.
as several persons were on the dummy.
Several persons in the vicinity rushed to
the scene of the disaster and soon a large
crowd congregated. Officer COnboy, who
was on the dummy, describing his sensa-
tionS, said that the explosion had the effect
of mOmentarily
STUNNING HIM,
and it was fully half All hour before he re-
covered his hearing. The excitement
caused by this explosion was intensified
when it became known that another explo-
sion had taken place on the Suffer cable
road, near Dupont street, about an hour
later. The explosive, which it is believed
to have been giant powder cartridge, was
exploded by the dummy wheels running
over it. The dummy was disabled and had
TO be taken to the car house for repairs.
1t was replaced by new one. and the road
continued to operate its, cars rs usual curing
the remainder of the night. No one was
injured by the last explosion, as the charge
in the cartridge evidently was
small. The authorities are entirely
at loss as to the authors of
these outrages, and have not as yet OBJ
tanned the slightest clue to the perpetrators
OF any of these frequent attempts at the de-
struction of life and property on the Geary
and Suffer street cable roads. Three men
who were on the Post street dummy were
bruised, but not seriously hurt. Two men
have been arrested on suspicion of being
concerned in the outrage. Their names can
not be ascertained.
Later in the evening an uneXploded dyna-
mite cartridge was found near Scott street.
on the Geary street road. The cartridge
had evidently been placed on the track, but
had rolled off. Chief Crowley and other
police officials are celebrating as to what
means to take to detect and bring the cul-
prits to justice, and to guard more carefully
against any such acts i'll the future.
